Miami Heat: Coach Spo Is Just Too Bright A Coach To Eliminate Good Options

The grand point remains the same though and is this. Based on his recent and overall history, the versatile and multiple weapons the Miami Heat have afforded themselves this season, and the intellect of the coach in question—it’s too simple or naive to believe that Coach Spo will simply be cut and paste with his rotations.

Things might change from series to series but also, perhaps even from game to game. He won’t ever clip his own wings if there’s another wrinkle or guy to go to.

The best way to summarize the way that it’ll all be handled is a quote from the man himself.

Back on March 7th, Victor Oladipo’s first game of the year for the Miami Heat, Coach Spoelstra was asked about the rotation and his decisions following the game.

His answer was a classic, might be one of the next great Spoisms, and ties a bow around this one. When it comes to the tougher decisions on rotational minutes moving forward with this team, Top 15 would respond with a simple—”That’s for amateurs”.

And you just love to see it.
